Auto-connects via JamboSim

Your eSIM picks Virgin Media O2 automatically where available, and falls back to other supported networks seamlessly.

Travelling to United Kingdom from the UK, US or Ireland?

Most UK and US plans treat United Kingdom as a rest-of-world destination, so data outside your bundle is billed per megabyte. A JamboSim eSIM on Virgin Media O2 replaces that with one price you pay before you fly.

Cheaper than your home roaming

EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three, and in the US Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, all charge a daily or per-MB rate for United Kingdom. Your Virgin Media O2 data runs on a local plan instead, with no bill shock when you get home.

No local SIM shop, no ID checks

Buying a Virgin Media O2 SIM in United Kingdom usually means a passport copy, a registration form and a queue at the airport. The eSIM is installed before departure and connects on landing.

English support, prices in GBP or USD

You pay in your own currency and our support team answers in English, seven days a week, including install help for Virgin Media O2.
